Bruce Willis gives action hero tips

Bruce Willis has given some personal tips for being an action hero movie star.

According to OK, the actor mentioned a variety of traits he believes are necessary to succeed at the highest level.

He said: "You can't take yourself too seriously. And with being an action star there's a handbook about heroism, whether it's a firefighter or a cop or anything. There's a set of values that come with it.

"You have to be a good friend, loyal and kind to animals. And kind to the director. You have to be brace and be able to cry on camera."

He then joked: "Plus you have to share your thoughts, but only at gunpoint. You also have to be a good shot. And maybe wear no underwear."
